Bulls Eyed on what Matters (Testimonial Series)

Brian Tracy’s ‘Eat That Frog’ is a great book instead of a less palatable title. But it totally agrees with the basic argument of the book. This is where eating a ‘frog’ is used as a metaphor that means doing the most important thing. This is the task you are most likely to put off, it being mist likely not so good, but also almost certainly the one that will have the greatest probable impact in your life.

The book makes the argument (in which I agree) that there is never time to do everything on your to-do list, and there will be never. Hence, as an alternative of reading so many self-help books on how to organize your life – focus is the key. As well as, you try to do yeoman’s job of chasing the finishing point of all tasks, you have to accept the fact that if you cannot get everything done, you might as well spend your energy on the most important task available.

This goes back to the 80-20 rule, which is that the most important top 20% of all your task will most likely determine 80% of your success, and as a replacement for ticking it off one by one (most people do their task list in chronological order, easiest first and the hard part later), there is a good stand point t believe you can be more successful by just focusing on these top 20%.

This book focuses on three vital aspects of effective personal time management: decision, discipline and determination. The book presents 21 ways to do this. It is a short yet practical book only 144 pages but nevertheless shows far more substance than many books thicker in size.
